Alison earned her MDiv at Trinity International University (Deerfield, IL) and PhD at University of Gloucestershire (UK). Her academic research ranges from Wisdom and Poetic Books to the Prophetic Literature. Her international exposure (Hong Kong, China, Singapore, USA, UK, Israel, etc.) through education and employment abroad over the decades has shaped her to be a person, who embraces human diversity.

Alison was born and brought up in Hong Kong, together with five brothers on a farm. They and their families have been a source of huge support and great fun to her. Being in nature makes her feel at home with her Heavenly Father.
